It's not, so they're not, done deal.
Tony Romo was born in Ghana, I bet you didn't know that. - Reply to this comment

In other news, Tony Romo broke up with Jessica Simpson on the eve of her,"Barbie", themed birthday party.
It's a sign, the end of days are upon us... - Reply to this comment
- According to the venerable Rasmussen polling data, Obama is at 53% approval rating; not at 57%. In any case, he is slipping in the polls and that is good. Then he may no longer arrogantly believe that he is God's gift to mankind, as he is taken down a few notches to face reality. As the unemployment rate rises above 10%, Obama's appoval rating will go even lower. He will blame Bush for all the ills of the land, since he is unable to face the fact that he has failed, and will fail as president. His policies and socialist ideological views are scary.

- Well, to be fair, GW did hand Obama this economy. That said, how has he,"failed"?
He's 7 months into a four year term.
Or is it that you WANT him to fail?
Just like Rush...and Hannity...
- And his blame of Bush will be rightly place. No amount of RINOspin will change this hard truth: The Republicans trashed the world in less that 8 years. It will take at least as long to recover.
- gravyboat ... I'm a true American Patriot. I would fight to the death for this country. As far as Obama's plans for America. I hope Obama's plans fail.

Then you are no patriot. You're just a RINOpublican.
- To mooksie1:
I agree it could be a good thing if he's 'taken down a couple notches'!
He needs to get rid of that 'God's gift' aura, he projects!
But, it's FAR TOO EARLY to claim with any degree of realism, authenticity, or accuracy; that, after only six months into his term, he's failed! THAT'S ludicrous!

Still pushing the old myth that he was handed this economy by Bush, when the commies in congress had been making appropriations for two freaking years already and the employment rate dropped like a ton of bricks the minute the commmies got control of both houses...just like the employment rate drops every time they get control?
All I can say is, no wonder the country is in such a mess when it's full of STUPID PEOPLE!

- Coming from the news service that brought the world dan rather, the real data is probably only distorted by about 10% in favor of the candidate they endorse.

- Whether you know it or not, Dan Rather WAS a professional, top-notch field reporter and anchorman for decades!
IF he made any mistake, I think it was that he 'over-stayed his welcome' by a couple of years! It would have been better if he retired a couple of years before he did!
The secretary of Bush's reserve unit air commander confirmed the contents of the letter that Rather presented regarding Bush's A.W.O.L. status!
The dispute was that it wasn't the original letter! And, if that's the case, it verifies earlier reports that his military record had previously been "sanitized"! So, that's how the complainers knew and WHY they complained about it!
So, if you want to criticize Rather for TRYING to tell the truth, go ahead! That's all he's guilty of! He can live with that!
- There you have it, the tide has turned against Obama-and by his own supporters, not the "whacko right wing."
Obama hasn't seen anything yet. He will soon become hated worse than even Bush because of his spending, and the crippling taxation to come.
I know I predicted Obama would be the Jimmy Carter of the 21st Century, and he is on the path for that for sure.
- "...The decline in support is coming not from Republicans - whose support for the president has actually risen - but from Democrats and independents..."
So it is revealed.
Mr. President, America voted for a total repudiation and reversal of neocon-derthal politics, but in your trying to be a centrist, you are still allowing parts of the neo agenda that America has indicated that we no longer wish to have, to continue. This is why your numbers are slipping, and while it should be welcome news for the anti- Obama posters here, as it shows that you refuse to do what America voted for, and shut the neos and their intolerant, corrupt agenda out completely, still you are being reviled by their ilk, while losing the support of those who wanted you to ignore them.
Indeed there is still this harping about your nationality, (which is totally false and at any rate now irrelevant,) still this false hysteria about your being a "communist" (from those who haven't yet looked up the word, and have no idea of it's meaning) or more lies about being a Muslim (as if there was a law against being so, which there is not).
So that leaves very few real reasons why the posters here cannot abide President Obama, these are the dregs of the kkk/aryan nations crowd, such abject cowards that they cannot simply state that they haven't evolved sufficiently to be able to accept a "Black" man as president.
It would not be wise to hope that the rise in the neo support will offset the fall on the support of progressives, a large segment of the neos will never accept you, no matter what you do to try to appease them.
Time to drop the "Uncle Tom"-type appeals to those who still consider you just another "n-word", and kick these ignorant, recalcitrant suckers to the curb, which is actually what we voted for you to do.

- Since nobody else has gone there I might as well.
Rather got sandbagged. He was fed that Bush NG info and then the ones who fed it to him pulled the rug out from under him.
He was taken out. But why?
9/11 he was on the air reporting and he heard over the radio the words PULL TOWER SEVEN! Rather knew that was a term used in demolition that meant someone was about to blow up Tower 7. He got them to point the camera at the Tower just as it imploded.
However, the story was put out that there was no explosives in the tower and it fell on its one. Rather heard the radio call, interpreted what it meant and got the cameras pointed in the right place at the right moment so the world could watch what the government claims did not happen.
He had to be discredited.
- You are correct! The raw data showed the democrats with a 6 point sampling advantage. The "weighted sample" they used to get the final number gives democrats a 12 POINT ADVANTAGE! So they just randomly double toe dem advantage in the sample even though relaity showed them otherwise? This poll is a LIE people.

Yeah, just like Mark Furmann was agreat cop for a long time too. Then he did something very questionable, which called his credibility into question.
Same for Dan Rather. And, rather should suffer the same penality as Furman did.
- What does brianbwb understand about the Mandate that was given? Nothing! The mandate was for reform. The mandate was for transparency in Government and an end to Special Intrests and Corruption, the two biggest complaints about the Republican Party. He had a great chance! But what happens? He appoints crooks. He is *not* transparent and gets less so all the time. The majority wanted Health Care reform, YES! Problem is they wanted controlling of the Cost as the priority by a margin of almost 4 to 1 when he was campaigning and making bold promises. People are seeing promises failed and corruption even in his wife Michele! Wake up dude! This wasn't Your party! It was ours, and he failed to get out all the NEO Conservatives and all the NEO Liberals. Come to find out, he himself seems to be a whole new breed of NEO we have never seen before. NEO Corrupt! From Chicago, imagine that...

"For Ghana, Obama's visit will be a celebration of another milestone in African history as it hosts the first-ever African-American President on this presidential visit to the continent of his birth."
His Grandmother said he was born in Kenya, she witnessed his birth. African press says he was born there. Will we ever have this truth reported in main line media? - Reply to this comment

- Do you honestly think for one minute that Hillary and Bill Clinton, would have stayed quiet for an entire heartbeat, before blasting that all over the news if that were true? Think about them, their ambitions, and their political ruthlessness, and consider whether you feel that the post of Secretary of State filled those appetites. The answer is obviously no, the red herring has spoiled and needs to be thrown out for good.
- Will we ever have this truth reported in main line media? (question posed by previous poster)
My response: NOT in the foreseeable future, we won't! Because it would mean that he wasn't eligible to be president in the first place!
Is this correct, morally or legally? Ob course, not!
Not anymore than stopping counting votes for one side, and giving an election to the other side on a 5-4 vote!
So, this isn't the first time that a PROBABLE mis-justice is taking place!
We...the public...have probably gotten 'hosed' again! But, it WON'T
be changed, NOW!
SO, all you Obama-haters, stop whining about it! Go after him on his mistakes and what he's failing to do! Constantly complaining about the birth certificate issue, makes you look like a bunch of crackpots!
- Obama told Africans to 'shut up and don't blame the IMF/World Parasites for looting your countries.
Obama is a puppet of the British Empire made up of Wall Street/City of London and he's a salesman for this Global Warming hoax to keep Africa from developing as it has a right to do so.
Obama is the worse president for blacks and Africans since Hitler.
- Beating this to death already!!! he is an american with passport and a birth certificate, who the hell cares anyway. Mother american, baby american.
- I think he was born in Ghana to an American citizen (his mother) which grants him citizenship by birth. I think he grew up in New Zealand with a mother who may have relinqished her citizenship but its not clear how that would affect his. But it appears that he moved to Hawaii before he was 18 and his grandmother obtained some form of "certificate" so he could enroll in school. Its not clear if that is legal citizenship or not.
So, its a very muddy question and one the courts are loath to address. That is why we will never know the truth. But, it is pretty clear, he was born in Ghana but that does not mean he wasnt/isnt a natural born citizen.
- lee2261, mother American, baby American, is that the same thing as: mother Mexican, baby American? very poor post in the least.
- no, but the American people dont care, they are still chanting Yes we can crap. This man will destroy our country, but what does he care, he is not a true American
- If that were the case, Fox News would be all over this story.
